  Hello Antony,
  
  You can try customization of fonts by updating user preferences in “C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Zimbra\Zimbra Desktop\profile\prefs.js”
  
  e.g.
  user_pref(“font.default.x-unicode”, “Arial”);
  user_pref(“font.default.x-user-def”, “Arial”);
  user_pref(“font.default.x-western”, “Arial”);
  user_pref(“font.language.group”, “x-western”);
  user_pref(“font.minimum-size.x-unicode”, 14);
  user_pref(“font.minimum-size.x-user-def”, 14);
  user_pref(“font.minimum-size.x-western”, 14);

We have 500 users on Zimbra, do you know how to change the print font size for all users? Can’t find anything in the CoS for it.

Thanks.

Hi Gary – I am using Zimbra 8.7, which is now available via our Public Release Candidate Program. http://info.zimbra.com/zimbra-collaboration-8.7-release-candidate

I have asked our Engineering Team which versions of Zimbra support the “Display Font Size” functionality, and I will let you know when I hear back. Watch this space for more information.
